This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to perform basic editing functions in relation to film, television and interactive media productions. No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement. Editing assistants apply the skills and knowledge described in this unit. Under the direction of an editor or senior editor, they are responsible for digitising, cutting and logging pre-recorded image and audio content. Editors then take this material and complete the editing process. Within clearly defined parameters, editing assistants are also responsible for editing content using the basic functions of editing software.
After hours delivery
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit Evidence of the following is essential: systematic preparation of content segments for editing from source video or film correct identification and logging of single images, audio grabs and basic sequences ability to transfer and digitise video and film materials collaborative approach to work attention to detail ability to work to deadlines. Required skills communication, teamwork and organisational skills sufficient to: arrange film, television and interactive media content logically and accurately liaise with relevant production personnel, e.g. editors, directors understand and follow instructions as required technical skills sufficient to: edit simple image and audio sequences and segments, including dialogue digitise pre-recorded content, e.g. film, analogue video follow relevant file management protocols for specified operating systems self-management skills sufficient to: prioritise work tasks meet deadlines seek expert assistance when problems arise literacy and numeracy skills sufficient to: identify and label accurately source materials and copies implement and record time codes and timings document image and sound components, e.g. completion of logging sheets
Required knowledge familiarity with basic picture and sound editing conventions and techniques industry knowledge, including: roles and responsibilities of post-production personnel basic understanding of the features and capabilities of facilities and equipment for sound editing and broadcast working knowledge of a range of editing software and equipment OHS requirements as they apply to use of computers and keyboards
Assessment must ensure: access to a range of pre-recorded films and videos availability of a range of editing facilities - non-broadcast and broadcast exposure to a range of computer software for editing and documentation of image and audio access to appropriate learning and assessment support when required use of culturally appropriate processes and techniques appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of learners and the work being performed. A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit: direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third-party workplace reports of on-the-job performance evaluation of a range of material prepared, logged and edited by the candidate in response to instructions received from a supervising editor written or verbal questioning to test knowledge as listed in the required skills and knowledge section of this unit.
